<h5 id="Lucene_Net_Analysis_Phonetic_Language_Bm_PhoneticEngine_remarks"><strong>Remarks</strong></h5>
<div class="markdown level0 remarks"><p>This is a two-stage process. Firstly, the word is converted into a phonetic representation that takes
into account the likely source language. Next, this phonetic representation is converted into a
pan-European &apos;average&apos; representation, allowing comparison between different versions of essentially
the same word from different languages.
<p>
This class is intentionally immutable and thread-safe.
If you wish to alter the settings for a PhoneticEngine, you
must make a new one with the updated settings.
